Colia Clark on Social Security

Public protections should not be privatized and subject risk

Q: What do you think about privatizing Social Security?

A: OPPOSE - I oppose the privatization of Social Security. It is critical that the public protections of Social Security are not privatized and subjected to increased risk.
The Ronald Reagan administration targeted Social Security, removing large amounts of funds to salvage other sectors of the economy.
We must replace every penny of that money with interest in fairness to the millions of Americans who paid into this system.
The replacement of these billions of dollars will assure that future generations of elderly retirees and those with disabilities have access to the dream that Social Security must provide.
